Everything we do at KBA Architects revolves around one ultimate goal — to create exceptional architecture. In order to truly achieve this goal it not only requires skilled and creative professionals who strive for excellence, but also years of experience and successful role models, of which KBA has an ample supply. Since the firm was founded in 1953, KBA has successfully completed hundreds of public and private projects, sharpening our knowledge and giving us the experience needed to effectively handle each inherent challenge that comes next.

Today's Principals Kevin Buckley, AIA, President and Daniel Bradford, AIA, Vice President honor the dedication and work ethic of KBA's founders with every project the firm takes on. We believe today, as our founders did years ago, that the future's design and management challenges will be answered using dedicated leadership, innovation and commitment to designing and creating inspirational and extraordinary architecture.
